Lemon Curd
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
PREPARATION:
Put all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly for about 8-10 minutes until it thickens. Transfer to a storage container and cover surface with plastic wrap to keep curd from developing a skin. Cool in refrigerator.
Blueberry-raspberry Compote

1.5 cup blueberries
1 cup raspberries
1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp lemon zest
PREPARATION:
Put all ingredients (but using only 1 1/4 cup of the blueberries and 3/4 cup of raspberries) together in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a low boil for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing berries to burst and partially liquefy. Remove from heat and stir in remaining berries. Allow to cool for 20 minutes and transfer to a storage container. Cool in refrigerator.
